Need the ability to change the default port that an iTach unit listens on

If the default port that the iTach listens on could be changed during set-up, it would make the ability to control multiple units across the Internet (via port forwarding) a slam dunk. It is currently either extremely painful, or impossible to do so.

In the case that you have multiple units on the network, you will want to use a setting called virtual server, which may or may not be available on the router you have. This setting allows you to forward a port from a unit to a different network port. Unless you are able to use virtual server, you will not be able to differentiate between the units on the network due to the fact that they all use the same port for network communications.

Understood, thanks. The router does not support that so I have to expose the router itself on the internet and activate the appropriate port fowarding rule when I want to switch from den to bedroom. If the port the iTach listens on could be configured, this would be unnecessary.
